And you could probably find them listed in the phone book too! I found my grandparents business listed at a similar time.

Sorry Elaine didn't notice the decade you were talking about (better put my reading glasses on).
Check with your library to see if there is a copy of the one you need at another branch of the library, I ordered one through my local library and it got transferred to the local library for me to borrow.
Other than that you might have to buy a copy from Kelly (think they are about £6) and come in the form of a CD rom, Have a look at:

Thanks for that but unfortunately they only go up to 1919, I need later ones.

Can anybody tell me where I might find these directories. I'm looking for information on my grandfather who owned some shops in 1930's. I went to the local library the other day but they only hold certain years and I couldn't find the information that I wanted. Is there anywhere else I might find them?

Thanks
Eliane
